Pulmonology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the respiratory system—including the lungs, airways, and breathing muscles. Pulmonologists diagnose and treat conditions that affect how we breathe.

What Pulmonologists Treat:

• Asthma – Inflammation and narrowing of airways
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) – includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis
• Pneumonia – Lung infection
• Tuberculosis (TB)
• Pulmonary Fibrosis – Scarring of Lung tissue
